The extraction of vanadium from a high Ca/V ratio vanadium was studied by direct roasting and water leaching. In the present paper, the effects of Na2CO3 amount, roasting temperature and roasting time on the extraction of vanadium were studied. Results showed that the Na2CO3 amount and roasting temperature are the main factors in roasting process affecting the final leaching rate of vanadium. As indicated in the experimental study, the optimal Na2CO3 amount is 19%, the roasting temperature is 800°C, and the roasting time is 90 min respectively. By the mean of TG-DSC analysis and X-Ray diffraction(XRD) techniques, the oxidation process and material phase transformation of vanadium slag during roasting process under the optimal roasting conditions were analyzed and discussed.

Dongzhongla ore deposit is located in the Zhaxue-Yaguila mineralization area, Nyainqentanglha Range, Tibet and is a new founded middle-large size lead-zinc deposit. The host quartz veins in the Dongzhong lead-zinc deposit was measured by laser microprobe 40Ar-39Ar dating method in order to obtain the ore-forming age. As a result, the isochron age of the ore is 42. 2 Ma ±1. 7 Ma, inverse isochron age is 42 Ma±3 Ma with the MSWD value of 2. 4 and the initial 40Ar/36 Ar value of 303. 6±1.4. The measured age is in agreement with-the inverse isochron age within a reasonable error range, and the dating results can be regarded as the ore-forming age of the Dongzhong lead-zinc deposit (formed during early Eocene). In the same mineralization zone, the Sharang porphyry molybdenum deposit has a Re-Os isochrone age of 51 Ma ±1.0 Ma,and the Yaguila lead-zinc-molybdenum polymetallic deposit yields a Re-Os weighted average model age of 58.7 Ma ±8. 5 Ma. All the geochronology information indicated that the mineralization movements occurred during main Indian-Asian collision period (41 Ma∼65 Ma) in the Nyainqentanglha mineralization belt. This study provided important evidence for the research and exploration of lead-zinc molybdenum-copper polymetallic ore deposits in the Nyainqentanglha Range.

Located in the Zhaxue -Yaguila metallogenic belt of the Nyainqentanglha Range, Tibet, the Dongzhongla ore deposit is a newly-discovered lead-zinc polymetallic deposit. The exposed porphyry granite has an intimate relationship with the Dongzhongla ore deposit. In order to determine the accurate age of the porphyry granite in Dongzhongla, the authors employed the zircon SHRIMP U-Pb isotope dating technology and obtained the age of 124.4 ±1.9 Ma (MSWD =5.09), indicating Cretaceous. This age is essentially in agreement with the event of magmatism in the east of the Gangdise -Nyainqentanglha volcanic -magmatic belt (from 109 Ma to 130 Ma) and the age of granites in the Zhaxue-Jinda lead-zinc polymetallic metallogenic belt. Combined with regional data, it is suggested that the Dongzhongla early Cretaceous porphyry granites resulted from the crustal thickening melting of the intra -arc rift tensional system. This age provides the important evidence for Cretaceous magmatism and helps to direct studies related to lead -zinc molybdenum -copper polymetallic ore exploration in the Nyainqentanglha Range.
